SPaG Literacy symbols
Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar
There is greater emphasis upon spelling, punctuation and grammar at KS3 and in written exams AT KS4 & 5.
Teachers will use this set of symbols to help you improve your spelling, punctuation and grammar in written work.
Please refer to these literacy symbols when reading feedforward.
You must try to respond to these suggestions by improving these in your next draft.
[NB teachers mark in red, students peer and self-assess in green, students write the work in blue or black.]
